New cover?
I found this on FergieBR.com. I think that it's the true single cover. --TRyudo (talk) 22:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps it may be but I don't think it is. It looks to fan-made. Anyone could do that on photoshop or even some simple image editing software. Open the image up so that it is large and look down the bottom. It says FergieBr.com which is an unofficial source. The cover on Dip Dive looks more professional although it doesn't have the song title or the band name on it. All you see are the band members heads. Very strange. Child Funk (talk)

People keep removing the dipdive.com cover, why? MatthewWaller (talk) 19:21, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Someone's deleted the whole picture now, THANKS ALOTTT!!! MatthewWaller (talk) 17:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I got a great idea, re-add it. How hard could it be? And whoever deleted it, Why did you? It was posted on dipdive by will.i.am/iamwill —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.221.5.214 (talk) 07:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

The cover used in the article right now is the official one. The Black Eyed Peas have uploaded it to their official myspace. The Dipdive cover potentially could be the cover for The E.N.D. It looks like more of an album cover than a single! Child Funk (talk) 09:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Is this even going to be a single?
I know it's been getting airplay. I have been listening to 2DAY fm and they've played it each night on the Hot 30 pretty much for whole of the past week claiming that it's the new single. But I just don't get the free download on Last Fm? Perhaps it's a promotional single for the album? Surely the record company's wouldn't allow a free download of something they would intend to make money off. It has to be a promo single that may be on the album? Share your thoughts Child Funk (talk) 08:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is a single. Will.i.am released it for the fans because he felt it has been so long since they put material out, and they have been waiting patiently. The official single will come out on March 10th, and will follow up by a music video. Thfresh-prince (talk) 15:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

UK Chart?
Someone tell me how the song got to number 21 in the UK singles chart if the single hasn't even been released in the UK, it says nothing about it on the official UK charts website, I'm guessing it's fake. MatthewWaller (talk) 19:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, it's out now (finally) so now it can chart. MatthewWaller (talk) 07:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Music video section
Hey guys. I feel as though it's looking a little neglected. At some point I am going to try and re-format it so it has a cleaner appearence. childfunk chat  04:47, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it looks terrible. A lot of information is un- or not correctly verified. I think it would be better to move the pictures to the right.--Totie (talk) 21:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Genre
There is common misconfusion with the actual musical genre of the song. Currently, the article lists that the song is Electronic-dance. I don't necessarily agree with that. Yes, the song is electronic, but is it primarily dance music? I'm not so sure. Perhaps electronica could be used instead as it is defined as electronic music that is not made entirely for dancing purposes. Personally, I think the genre is electro-hop (meaning the music is electronic with hip hop vocals), some of you probably disagree so share your thoughts! • вяαdcяo chat  10:18, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I think it should be placed under the electro-hop genre, being that is the genre of the album. Thfresh-prince (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:10, 10 May 2009 (UTC).

Lyrics
Is it really necessary to have the lyrics on the page?? 83.70.69.224 (talk) 20:26, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Computer Branding
Why is the brand of computer in the video clip listed in the description? Is it appropriate? Wikipedia is not a forum for advertising and if no one objects, that I propose it be removed. Lost kafei (talk) 10:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

More Than 1 Clean Version
The article says there is 1 clean version, but I found 3 versions: 24.56.20.41 (talk) 20:27, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Bleeping out swearing. (Used in the music video)
 * Bleeping out swearing and the word Satelite. (A Radio Edit)
 * Bleeping out swearing, the word Satelite, and replaces "sh*tin" with "gettin". (Another Radio Edit)

censorship? and Hewlett Packard
Firstly, the censorship section is not clear; it doesn't indicate why there's censorship and any inkling as to what exactly it is about satellite that might be amenable towards becoming censored in the first place.
 * Also, ought there maybe a reference to the fact the music video is apparently an advert for HP,,,,?? Eugene-elgato (talk) 11:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There was references to the Hewlett Packard computers in the video clip section, but I removed them a while ago, because the way in which it was written was advert like. It there was to be a reference to this, i suggest it should be seperate to the main body of the video clip description as to make it clear that it does appear in the clip, but it hasn't been "slipped in", like is has been in the video clip. Maybe there should also be a line to explain that this is a form of embedded advertising or product placement, and provide a link to that Wikipedia page. What do people think?Lost kafei (talk) 00:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Why can't it just be written in that instead of saying "computer" it be simply changed to Touchsmart computer with a link to HP Touchsmart 2? Or is that what you all are saying should be avoided? Jashack (talk) 10:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought that blatant reference to it was inappropriate. It seems to be an advertisement in the video clip and it seems inappropriate for HP to be able to buy airtime on the video and get a bonus shout out on Wikipedia. The promotion of products doesn't seem to be acceptable in Wikipedia, and I don't think the brand of the computer is important to the film clip. I notice it has been reverted back to "HP Touchsmart", so I will leave this comment here and see what you think. Sorry I didn't respond for so long. 115.131.27.249 (talk) 12:54, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

What about the French SNEP Charts?
Did the single even chart or did it see a release in France? Has anybody checked this out? I mean the SNEP chart is one of the most vital one in the world, shouldn't we include it here?? And if it hasn't seen any commercial release in France we should somehow mention it!!

Billboard Year End Position?
When I go to the source, it shows that Boom Boom Pow is #1, yet, why is it listed as #4 on this article? 68.100.69.171 (talk) 02:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Covers and parodies
Surely Bad Lip Reading's Everybody Poops should be mentioned in this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.81.170.39 (talk) 02:42, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
